According to many "soggy couscous exprience" from my friends, and a horrible dinner i had at my friend's home with that "porridge-like-couscous-must-be-eaten" , i've never given my hand on it since then.
But, anyway, I'm hungry tonight and there is a package of couscous in my drawer for ages, and i have browsed cooking informations from internet about it, so, why not give it a chance?
Since that porridge-like-couscous-nightmare, I thought this dish might be very difficult to do. i was totally wrong! On the contrary, it is super easy to make! it is just like i give out 10% and get 100% in return. My couscous comes out "al dente" and tastes just fine salty. i'm so happy with myself tonight. Thanks to couscous.
Tips: Couscous : Boiling chicken broth/boiling water = 1:1
(1)Fried fine chopped onion, celery etc., Then add 1 cup of chicken broth. (2)Pour the broth onto the couscous(1 cup). Cover up the couscous's container with a lid or wrap.
(3)Wait exactly 5 mintes.
(4)Open up, mix in butter/extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper. Stir the couscous to let the stream and moisture out.
(5)Wait a few minutes more, let the favour mix into the couscous.
(6)Mix couscous into salad/meatball sauce/ roasted chicken pieces etc.
P.S. i ate my couscous while i was watching a DVD "Burn After Reading", i laughed out "ha~ha~ha~..HA, HA!" loudly. what a hilarious movie!
